I find it disturbing that this sex doll \u201chad hair, a nose piercing and markings that resembled bruises and grazes\u201d (A \u2018body\u2019 found in a suitcase was actually a sex doll. How did NSW police get it so wrong?, 12 August<\/a>). I suppose it could be said that at least these injuries weren\u2019t inflicted on a real woman, but what does it say about the (presumed) man who owned it \u2013 or the manufacturer that created it? \u201cCreepy\u201d is too mild a word for this .
